Bayer Advantage Celebrity Pro-Am

Outright plays (2 units):

Gil Morgan to win 16/1 e.w. @ SkyBet
Retaining two of last week's selections and continuing to stick with Morgan who is close to his earlier season form, but continues to be priced at slightly higher odds than most of the other leading players. William Hill offer 18/1, but would rather take the extra place on offer at SkyBet instead.

Bob Gilder to win 20/1 e.w. @ Stan James
Stunning price from Stan James on a player who finished just one shot out of the playoff last week. SkyBet make him their 3rd favourite at 9/1. As stated last week, he is a player who plays well in bursts and he has now finished in the top-six in each of the last four weeks, winning once. He is a real contender this week.

Dana Quigley to win 28/1 e.w. @ Centrebet
Dropping Smyth whose price has plummeted this week and opted for Quigley instead. He had two top-5 finishes last month and finished very strong last week after an opening 76. Just looks a big price for a player who has won this season already and finishes in the top-5 about once in every four tournaments.

Matchup plays (2 units unless stated):

Bob Gilder to beat Des Smyth -125 @ Centrebet [4 units]
Not only has Gilder finished so highly in the last four events, he has beaten Smyth in all of their common events in the last eight weeks. Smyth's 10th place finish last week was his first top-10 for two months and that hardly compares to Gilder's current form.

Tom Jenkins to beat Fuzzy Zoeller -111 @ BetandWin
Will continue to oppose Zoeller in his current form even though he did manage a top-10 finish three weeks ago. He finished ahead of Jenkins by a single shot that week, but Jenkins still has a 6-2-0 h2h lead over the past three months.

Wayne Levi to beat Walter Hall -145 @ Five Dimes
Levi has been in decent form in the last couple of months with 26th being his lowest finish in his last five events. Over the same period of time, he leads Hall 4-1-0 h2h and looks a good player at the moment to side with for matchups as in his last three events he has improved his score in every round so motivation after an indifferent start does not seem to be a problem.

Gil Morgan to beat Dana Quigley -133 @ Five Dimes
Just feel that Morgan is the more consistent player and more likely to finish in the top-5. This is reflected in the outright odds so he is justifiable favourite. Quigley should have to finish very high up the leaderboard to deny Morgan so hopefully the outrights will cover any loss on this play.

Haven't had a 'ties lose' situation for weeks and now get two in the one week. Turned a beak-even event into a loss-making one as the outrights continue to struggle. Yet another first-time winner in the 2003 season - this looks as unpredictable as last year's PGA Tour!
